Abstract

In view of the worldwide increasing number of pulmonary diseases such as asthma bronchiale and COPD (Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease) and the increasing scarcity of resources in health care systems it is necessary to find a treatment form, which supports and complements the conventional medical care and monitoring, without increasing time and personnel requirements. Such a system is realized by means of the Telemetric Personal Health Monitoring System (TPHM), which was developed by the Heinz-Nixdorf Lehrstuhl für Medizinische Elektronik. TPHM stands for a system, that embeds a wireless communication between physician and patient into a network, which consists of monitoring devices of vital functions and transmitter devices. In this case the monitoring device is a mobile aeroplethysmograph combined with an inhalation device.
